Ingredients

30g nibbed almonds
120g butter, melted
2 tbsp maple syrup
360g cream cheese
120g caster sugar
1 jar crunchy peanut butter
300ml softly whipped cream
60g caster sugar

Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 23cm spring-base tin with silicone paper.
Mix all the ingredients for the base together and evenly spread on the base of the tin.
Place in the oven for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool fully in the tin.
For the peanut mix, cream the cheese, sugar and peanut butter together until smooth.
Fold in the cream and pour over the biscuit base. Allow to set.
For the chocolate topping, place the sugar and cream in a saucepan. Place over a low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for three minutes, until it’s a pale yellow colour.
Add the chocolate and stir until melted.
Add the butter and mix.
Cool slightly and pour over the tart. Leave to set in the fridge.
Remove from tin, remove paper and serve.
